Life can present us with many challenges and it can be difficult to figure out where to go next. These experiences can feel isolating, but you do not have to face this alone. If you are experiencing low mood, decreased motivation, difficulties within your relationships or are feeling overwhelmed, we can work together to find a path forward.

For nearly a decade, I have worked with children, youth and families with varying complex needs. I maintain an attachment focused and trauma informed lens, and work from a family systems perspective. I use play based techniques when working with children and have completed training in Neuroscience and Satir Model in the Sand Tray.

I offer a safe space and warm presence, recognizing the unique qualities of each individual while prioritizing a trauma-informed approach. Together, we can collaborate to identify the next steps towards a meaningful life.
